V&S Galvanizing Champions AGA’s HDG Steel Industry Sustainability Resources as a Leader in Sustainable Practices

Columbus, Ohio – March 10, 2025 – As a companion to the American Galvanizers Association’s (AGA) recent release of its hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel industry sustainability resources, V&S Galvanizing proudly showcases its commitment to implementing these principles through innovative and sustainable hot-dip galvanizing practices. By aligning with the AGA’s vision, V&S Galvanizing reinforces its role as a leader in delivering eco-friendly, durable steel solutions for industries such as building and architecture, transportation, and food and agriculture.

Embracing AGA’s Sustainability Framework

The AGA’s 2025 sustainability resources provide a roadmap for leveraging galvanized steel to achieve environmental and economic goals. These resources highlight the lifecycle advantages, recyclability, and low carbon footprint of HDG steel. V&S Galvanizing integrates these principles into its operations, ensuring that every project maximizes the sustainability benefits of hot-dip galvanizing.

Key ways V&S Galvanizing adheres to the AGA’s framework include:

• Lifecycle Durability: By applying a robust zinc coating through hot-dip galvanizing, V&S Galvanizing extends the lifespan of steel structures, reducing the need for replacements and conserving resources.
• Full Recyclability: V&S Galvanizing ensures that all galvanized steel processed at its facilities, such as V&S Lebanon Galvanizing and V&S Columbus Galvanizing, is 100% recyclable, supporting a circular economy.
• Energy Efficiency: The company optimizes its galvanizing processes to minimize energy use, aligning with the AGA’s emphasis on reducing the carbon footprint of HDG steel production.
